For
a less competitive and less graphic interactive dark
ride experience, there’s the boardwalks’s Den of Lost
Thieves, installed by Sally Corporation of Jacksonville,
Florida.
This 14-scene ride takes visitors on a wild chase through
a band of
pirates’ secret island in search of hidden treasure.

Designed
for the young at heart, the targets are mostly cutouts
and are easy to hit. There are two surprises, one of
which I’ll reveal: they take your photo before you enter,
like it or not. (But you don’t have to buy it!). The
other, I’m keeping secret, except to tell you that it
occurs during the ride. Keep your guard up!

Three
other dark attractions currently operate on
the Wildwood amusement landscape: the portable
Jersey Junkyard dark ride (left) and the Curse
of the Mummy 3-D walk-through (below).

At
left is Chamber of Checkers, a kids' walk-through.
All three operate on Morey's Wild Wheels Pier
at Spencer Ave.
